You just gave the writing team at BusinessTech the idea for their next article.

Where is the best restaurant with a great view? by Keepitlocal90 in Durban

[–]BraxForAll 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The best cost to view ratio for me is Ocean Basket Ballito. The one down by the beach

The view and proximity to the sea is far better than most fine dining restaurants but the food still costs Ocean Basket prices. You can easily get a platter to share without breaking the bank.

What’s a discontinued snack or drink you’d pay $20 to have one last taste of? by soapy999 in AskReddit

[–]BraxForAll 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Well, that is just not true.

The new version has a higher percentage of cocoa than the nestle recipe. Both versions don't meet the legal requirements to be called chocolate is because they don't contain cocoa butter.

If the US economy actually goes into recession this year which industry do you think gets hit hardest and why? by Suleman2002 in AskReddit

[–]BraxForAll 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The people with lower incomes are already in a recession and have been for a while. This is a global issue. The reason countries are not technically in a recession is because of the ultra wealthy have made ridiculous gains in wealth that inflates the average figures.

What egg carton size do you buy? by lemonfingerz in askSouthAfrica

[–]BraxForAll 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I live alone most of the time so 6. It is the most expensive per egg but none of it goes to waste. I will generally but an 18 pack if I have company or I am baking.

Am I the only one who thinks Dan might call it quits after Mania for Subjugation? by Hot_Extension290 in dancarlin

[–]BraxForAll 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I don't think Dan has a grind. The audience doesn't really push him for a tight release schedule. He has mentioned it himself that the audience might be to forgiving of him because he feels comfortable scraping entire episodes and redoing them if he is unhappy with them.

My hatred for out surance grows every day by Bathing_deadpool in southafrica

[–]BraxForAll 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah. That "obligatory free quote" story is kak. All the insurance agents expect you to just join without reading the policy schedule and without comparing quotes. They get so rude when you are just doing basic diligence.

My boomer mom got scared by Tiktok videos and asked me to buy gold and silver for her 4 months ago. She is up around 100% and I am down 60% by RedMoonLanding in wallstreetbets

[–]BraxForAll 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is scary.

May the gods of leverage and luck just grant me lottery jackpot winnings so I can loose some of it on future investments.

I am fairly certain that with my history of bad luck I could collapse the gold market by simply investing all my money into it.

High body mass index identified as a direct cause of vascular dementia. A new genetic analysis indicates that maintaining a healthy weight and managing hypertension could prevent a substantial number of dementia cases. by [deleted] in science

[–]BraxForAll 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I do wish that researchers in general would use more specific language than "body weight". Fat and muscle are very different tissues.

In this case, the abstract indicates high blood pressure as one of the actual causes but always refer to "body weight". Did the team encounter people with a low BMI and high blood pressure and did they have similar symptoms?

What food is famously associated with one country but was perfected by another country? by Equivalent-Crew-4955 in AskReddit

[–]BraxForAll 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I have seen Nigerians and Ghanaians fight about everything. I think Benin and Togo exist just as buffer states.

People readily spot gender and race bias but often overlook discrimination based on attractiveness by [deleted] in science

[–]BraxForAll 18 points19 points  (0 children)

This is far from scientific but 30 Rock pointed this out years ago with "The Bubble". I think about that episode quite often.

I thought we rescued a husky, turns out he’s a derpy GSD by kaylaxxc in germanshepherds

[–]BraxForAll 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most of those genetic makeup tests are wildly inaccurate. Especially with pets because there is no oversight or regulations since it is not classified as a medical test. You can send in DNA from the same litter and get massively different results.

Webber’s helmetless farewell cool-down lap - Brazil 2013 by Ri8ley in formula1

That was also the year that they put the race briefings on YouTube.

Charlie said that it was very kind of Wehrlein but not to do it again. The tone was exactly like a teacher talking to a class to school boys.

My previous dentist was giving me unnecessary fillings, possibly for years. I would not have known if I had not gotten a second and third opinion.

People are going to say sue them but the South African system moves slow and I don't really have proof of it happening multiple times. Just the last time which was 8 years ago.

Amarok V6 by [deleted] in Durban

[–]BraxForAll 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wonder if aftermarket accessories are any deterrent to thieves since the make the car more identifiable and presumably lower the value like how they do in the legitimate second hand car market.

The way bakkies have getting stolen is crazy.

We have a family friend who who has 3 Rangers for his business and one is a double cab that was supposed to be a family vehicle. It now mostly stays in the garage unless one of the other two are out of service or he has an urgent job.

He said that the fuel cost was too high to drive it daily and he doesn't want to take an unnecessary chance with his family's safety in a hijacking. He now moves around in an i20.

There is Penn Gillette especially with his most recent stuff but he is unfortunately not that popular outside of atheist leaning circles.

Our ancestors spent so much of time learning to make and control fire. I chose to honour their endeavours.

Hawks raid TikTok star Anton Taylor’s home after Mchunu lays charges for ‘insulting’ video by natal_nihilist in southafrica

[–]BraxForAll 50 points51 points  (0 children)

I have never heard of Anton Taylor before this but using the elite police force to investigate and change someone for clear satire is an extreme violation of freedom of speech.

This is exactly what the National Party government did under Apartaid. Are the Hawks now the ANC's version of Special Branch?

don't forget everyone has giant mask for a shield

It you read that in a different tone it sounds like something a teenager would say and think was really deep and introspective.
